Ah, yes... nothing I love more than waiting a literal year for 10 minutes of gameplay...
Welcome back!~ ;)

Serious note, we've had some issues this year leading up to this point clearly. So, we're just starting to make an effort to get steady updates out once again, bear with us and we'll hopefully have more out in no time as we have the rest of Episode 5's content being wrapped up and already working ahead on Episode 1's QoL additions/fixes, which will add more gameplay choices for players, new features and female protag being playable, etc.

It can only go up from here!~

so in the next update just restart the game from the beginning Pembroke Academy Newsletter #3
I think you just joined the Discord and asked this as well, or at least I answered it the best I could. (A tiny bit confused on what your asking exactly.)

Our next game update (support exclusive) will be v0.22 (full) as we're just released the last demos for that this weekend. Shortly after that happens, we'll slowly release the demo content for the public. (We're estimating early January for these.)

From there, our next main update for supporters will be v0.23 (Ep 1 QoL additions/fixes) and so with that update, yes. Players are urged to check out the earlier episode content as there's going to be new written scenes added between existing ones, existing ones lightly fixed up for polish to be closer to a finalized state, along with other new content. Such as, female protag being playable, new gameplay/feature elements being added, better focus of the main story, new CG art and variants, etc.

The biggest reason we're returning to earlier episodes is to add the female protagonist being playable, and for that, we're not just flipping a switch on/off for pronouns. We're carefully checking each scene to see if there's unique differences that's needed to make sense of being in control of a female student vs a male student. :p

In case there's people not following our Subscribestar or other platforms we post on.. The next game release for both supporters & public is coming January 10th!

More details can be viewed for free on our newsletter below, along with screenshot previews of the content coming!


In short: The public will gain access to v0.22 (demo 2) and we named it "demo" only because the content is 90% ideal. What we mean by this, is that there's some very light text that needs fixed, minor visual issues with transition effects, sprites, etc. But nothing that'd interrupt the enjoyment of the content majorly. We're fixing much of this up during January, so that our next public release in February will have these fixes made. <3

v0.22 (demo 2) is estimated 2 hours of gameplay, roughly 25-30k word count. No new CG art, but multiple player choice paths and fan service in other ways.
